Application filed. September 27, 1907. Serial No. 394,880.

To all whom it may concern;

Be it known that I, ROBERT CAMPBELL, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented new and useful Im rovements in Hair-Cutting Devices, of which the following is a specification.

This invention is an improved device for use b barbers and cutters for cutting hair and t e said invention consists in the construction, combination and arrangement of devices hereinafter described and claimed.

The object of my invention is to provide an improved device of this character which at 2 and the securing device at 3.

comprises a comb a blade for cutting the hair and means to secure the blade on one side of the comb for cooperation therewith in cut tin the hair as the comb is used.

Iii the accompanying drawings,-Fi ure 1 is a side elevation of a hair cutting evice constructed in accordance with this invention. Fig. 2 is an end elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is a detail perspective view of the clip for detachably connecting the blade to the comb, and Fig. 4 is a similar view of the gage blocks which coact with the clip in securin the blade in place.

In accordance with this invention I comously with the comb on on'e side thereof and a device for detachably securing the'blade on one side of the comb.

A suitable comb is indicated at 1, a blade comb may be of any suitable construction, an ordinarycomb being here shown. The

blade 2 is here shown as the blade of a razor,

' hand and rovided with a tang 4 to which the lb 5* is attached. Any suitable blade may be em loyed within the sco vention an I do not limit mysel in this particular. The device 3 for detachably securing the blade on one side of the comb is here shown as a clip comprising a pair of leaves 5, 6 hinged together at their rear or outer ends as at 7, the hinged or pivotally connected portions of said leaves being curved toward each other to provide a space between the said leaves when they are in parallel relation, of suflicient width to enable the said leaves to receive the comb and the tang of the blade between them. The said leaves are connected together at a point a suitable distance adjusting screw 8 The e of my in-.

10h is passed through openin s with which they are provided and is provided with a win ed nut 9.

On the opposing si es of the leaves of the clip lsare a pair of gage blocks 10 the opposing si of which are rovided with o lique rabbets 11 forming o lique surfaces to bear b ade so as to dis ose the blade obliquely with reference to t e comb as shown in Fig. 2, and hold the blade in the required relation to the comb to cause the, same to cut the hair which extends between the teeth of the comb close to the latter. The said a e blocks are detachable from the leaves 0 the clip and when placed between one of the leaves and the comb and against the opposite sides of the tang of the blade are clamped in such position, together with the blade and the comb, b the action of the set screw so as to cause the blade to be securely although detachably fastened to the comb on one side of the latter for use simultaneously there-.

with in cutting the hair, as will readily be understood.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new, is

1. A combined comb and hair cutting de vice comprising a comb, a clip having a pair of members pivotally connected together, a set screw connecting said members together and a blade, .said clip having one of its members bearin on one-side of said comb and said blade ein disposed between the comb and the other c ip member and detachably connected to the said comb by the action of said set screw.

2. A combined comb and hair cutti device comprising a comb and a gage bloc on one side thereof, a clip comprising a pair of members hinged together one of said members bearing on the side of the comb opposite said gage block, a blade having its tang bearing on sai gage block and thereby disposed on one side of the comb, a gage block on' the outer side of the tang of said blade and a ainst the inner side of the other member o the clip and a set screw connectin said clip members together and clamping said comb, gage blocks and blade between them.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
